Free Trade Alliance, Morelos sign agreement

The Free Trade Alliance San Antonio has signed an agreement with Centro de Estudios Técnicos en Computación in San Antonio, the Ministry of Tourism from the state of Morelos, Mexico, the Ministry of Economic Development from Morelos, and CANACINTRA Morelos, an industrial chamber of commerce, to coordinate efforts to promote opportunities between businesses in San Antonio and Morelos and foster international tourism between the two regions, the alliance said Monday.

Free Trade Alliance and CETEC agreed to support Morelos by assisting them with business plan development and implementation and connecting them with public and private entities helpful in the promotion of their products and services in the U.S. market. Morelos agreed to support the alliance’s International Business Development Center, which assists foreign companies that expand into the United States, creating jobs in Texas and the participant’s home country. Commercial trade missions will be supported by both institutions.

The Free Trade Alliance in collaboration with CETEC will coordinate a seminar on “How to do Business in the United States” in Morelos. Morelos will coordinate a tourism forum focused on “Knowing the State of Morelos and its Charm” in San Antonio. The tourism forum is tentatively planned for the week of June 27. Morelos representatives also will be able to attend the alliance’s investment seminars on June 29-30, addressing opportunities and concerns that foreign companies experience when investing in the United States.
